It is a great panel, I use it for games all the time. Great for movies too.

I have been told that infocus panels are not too good quality wise, but thats not even my opinion. I have never bought one. Personally I think nView makes a woderful product. You can't beat something thats not plastive (metal). Many people love their Sharp panels though. It seems the golden age of the spectra C is dead. Every one is selling theirs. I am glad I did not bu y one last november when they were like $200 (If i recall. I could just be crazy). lol. Thats all I have to say... Good luck. Oh and if you do buy that panel, please post a review on my website.

640 by 480 is the max resolution which is perfectly fine if you are watching movies. Unless of course you use a PC to play games and run movies.

I have the 822c and I love it. The only difference between the 820 and 822c is an extra 2 inches of screen size. It works great even with my crappy 2000 lumen projector. I should be pumping 7300 lumens within the week on a dedicated screen, so I expect a big improvement.

It displays 2 million colors which is pretty good. Good enough for any movie.

I forgot to mention the contrast ratio, which is really the best aspect of the 820 and 822c. It's 200:1. Most panels are 100:1.

More contrast gives you better blacks.

I think your talking about the Proxima Ovation 820. This thread is about the Infocus Powerview 820. Very different panels. The Infocus panel has a native resolution of 800x600 and will display 1024x768 compressed. 16 million colors. Contrast ratio 100:1.
